Knife crime figures go up and down, depending on various factors, but knives have always been, and remain, the weapon of choice for the Scottish thug.

I just read an article the other day (although it wasn't a brand new article it was a year old) saying that they now want to ban knives because of the knife crime going on. My point is... we can't ban everything that could possibly be used as a weapon just because people are idiots.

maybe they should have the Red head college fund....
Ceph, OH mY GOSH .... could you imagine the fighting get a bunch of tempermental red heads together in a kind of competition. LOL being a red head I know first hand the temper we can have lol, I couldn't imagine the blood bath that would result from that hahahaha.
